Hey, guys, I'm totally new here and totally new to growing anything period. I just started and am off to a very rocky start so I decided maybe some guidance is needed from you experienced green thumbs. So here goes!
- I did a DIY RDWC with top feed and had water sitting in it for about 4 days to get rid of the chlorine.
- I germinated the seeds using the 18-hour cup of water soak and paper towel method
- I planted into PH soaked Rockwool cubes, placed into a humidity dome and they took off great for about 2 days. I put lights on them for 24 hours immediately and they really got going. Now things are starting to slow down tons and go south. The last 4 days the tips started to brown and leaves yellow. Last night i decided to put them into the DWC 5 Gal buckets and feed with light nutes in hopes of that solving my problems. My current PH is 6.19 and ppm 260 but i literally just started to feed yesterday. I have one plant that you will see below that is looking ok but still has some yellow veining going on. Im at a total loss right now and last night i switched to 18/6 as well hoping they would look better in the AM and nothing. Help me lol IDK what to do and my poor seedlings are hanging on by a tread. Lights are about 3 1/2 feet up and they are 3, 1000 watt LEDs in a 96x48x80 tint. Also the conditions are 88 degree air temp according to my thermometer and 16% humidity. I put a laser thermometer on the plant leaves and its showing more like 76 degrees at the top of the plants. I do have a AC runnig in the tint to help with high temps but its sucking all my humidity so not sure if i should keep it running since the laser says 76 degrees at plant tops. Ughhh what am i doing wrong here are photos.
